About Element Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Honda Element — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Element | 2003–2005 | T | Megamos 13 (ID13) | HON66 |
| Element | 2006–2011 | T | Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936/PCF7941A) | HON66 |
Security System & Immobilizer
Honda’s Immobilizer System arrived in the late 90s and marched through Megamos and Philips ID46 chip eras into today’s Smart Entry proximity fobs. Red-key/green-key dealer lore aside, modern equipment programs every era at the curb.
On the Element specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Megamos 13 (ID13), Philips ID46 (Hitag-2, PCF7936/PCF7941A). A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Honda Element Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Element. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site. No tow, no dealer wait — this is our most common Element call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my Element?
It will open the doors and nothing else on transponder-era cars — the chip inside the key must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is the part we do curbside.
